Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a single pole aerial tramway apparatus for carrying cycles on an aerial tramway. More so, the present invention relates to an aerial tramway apparatus that is operational with an aerial lift to carry multiple cycles in an upright position along an elevated path of the overhead cables; that supports the cycles from a bowed pole configured to arc away from the cycles, so as to enable upright orientation and to create additional space for multiple cycles to be carried simultaneously; and that provides a hinged bracket to enable the multi-cycle support assembly carrying the cycles to sway in a pendulum motion while being carried, such that mechanical stress is reduced.
- an aerial tramway or gondola lift
- the aerial tramway consists of a loop of steel cable that is strung between two stations, sometimes over intermediate supporting towers.
- aerial tramways are operational in the high mountains and on the slopes of many low mountain range. Aerial tramways can be used to transport humans, animals, produce, and even other transportation devices, such as cycles.
- mountain biking is a popular recreational sport often performed in rugged trails and mountains.
- the need for extensive and rapid transport of mountain bikes can be provided by aerial tramways.
- the use of aerial tramway can be especially useful when the starting point of the race on the mountain height is not reached by a paved road. Loading the mountain bikes on the aerial tramway, and stabilizing the mountain bikes during transport can, however, be problematic.
- aerial tramways carry cabins at high elevations, where strong winds buffet the cable and cabins of the aerial tramway. This can lead to mechanical stress on the components of the atrial tramway.
- allowing for a free, pendulum motion that is induced by moving a load from one position to another, while it is suspended by cables can help alleviate the mechanical stress.
- the present invention relates to an aerial tramway apparatus that is operational with an aerial lift to carry multiple cycle sin an upright position along an elevated path of the overhead cables; that supports the cycles from a bowed pole configured to arc away from the cycles, so as to enable upright orientation and to create additional space for multiple cycles to be carried simultaneously; and that provides a hinged bracket to enable the multi-cycle support assembly carrying the cycles to sway in a pendulum motion while being carried, such that mechanical stress is reduced is still desired.
- a cableway carrier for mounting motorcycles according to JP2016/187972 A and a chairlift type device for transporting at least one two wheeled vehicle according to FR 2 929 575 A1 .
- Illustrative embodiments of the disclosure are generally directed to a single pole aerial tramway apparatus that is configured to carry multiple cycles from an aerial tramway.
- the aerial tramway is supported and propelled by overhead cables.
- the apparatus is carried along the path of the overhead cables while supporting multiple cycles in an upright position.
- the apparatus comprises a bowed pole that supports a multi-cycle support assembly used to carry multiple cycles in the upright position.
- the bowed pole is defined by a pole cable end near the cables, a pole cycle end, and a medial region.
- the medial region bows distally from the cycles, so as to create additional space for multiple cycles to be carried loaded and unloaded on a multi-cycle support assembly.
- the pole cable end terminates at a bracket, which forms a detachable nexus between the pole and a cable extension member from the overhead cable.
- the bracket is hinged.
- Such a hinged bracket configuration pivotally connects the cable extension member to the pole cable end, so as to enable the multi-cycle support assembly to sway in a pendulum motion. This pendulum motion helps to reduce mechanical stress that is naturally induced by carrying cycles along an elevated path from an overhead cable.
- the bowed pole also has a lower pole cycle end that connects to the multi-cycle support assembly.
- the multi-cycle support assembly securely mounts the cycles in an upright position during the lift.
- the multi-cycle support assembly includes a primary stabilization bar and at least one secondary stabilization bar joined to the cycle end of the bowed pole. The stabilization bars help balance the cycles during transport.
- the multi-cycle support assembly further includes a plurality of parallel, spaced-apart cycle racks set perpendicularly on the primary stabilization bar and secondary stabilization bar.
- the cycle racks comprise a front tire depression for cradling a front tire of the cycle, and a rear tire brace for cradling a rear tire of the cycle.
- the cycles are loaded directly onto the cycle racks, with the front tire setting into the front tire depression, and the rear tire aligning into the rear tire brace.
- a front tire alignment member and a pair of lateral stabilization bars help retain the cyclers on the cycle racks.
- One objective of the present invention is to carry multiple cycles in an upright position on an aerial tramway.
- Another objective is to carry a multi-cycle support assembly with a bowed pole that bows out distally from the multi-cycle support assembly, so as to provide greater space for the cycles.
- Yet another objective is to provide a bowed pole having sufficient durability to support the weight of multiple cycles, and strong winds at high elevations.
- Yet another objective is to enable detachable attachment between the apparatus and the overhead cable of the aerial tramway.
- Yet another objective is to provide a secondary stabilization bar rearward of the primary stabilization bar to support the rear weight of the cycles.
- Yet another objective is to balance the weight of the multi-cycle support assembly 108 laterally with a primary stabilization bar and a secondary stabilization bar.
- Yet another objective is to enable the bracket to pivot about the cable extension member, so as to reduce stress on the pole and multi-cycle support assembly.
- Yet another objective is to provide an easy to detach bowed pole to a cable for an aerial tramway.
- Yet another objective is to provide a front tire depression and a rear tire brace to the cycle rack, so as to secure the cycles in the upright position during transport on the aerial tramway.
- Yet another objective is to provide an inexpensive to manufacture single pole aerial tramway apparatus for cycles.
- a single pole aerial tramway apparatus 100 for cycles is referenced in FIGs. 1-3 .
- the single pole aerial tramway apparatus 100 hereafter "apparatus 100" provides a unique extension for an aerial tramway 200 that carries multiple cycles 300a-c in an upright position.
- the apparatus 100 is operational with an aerial tramway 200 that is supported and propelled by overhead cables 202.
- the apparatus 100 is carried along the path of the overhead cables 202 while supporting multiple cycles 300a-c in the upright position.
- the apparatus 100 provides a single, bowed pole 102, serving as nexus between the overhead cable 202, and a multi-cycle support assembly 108 that securely retains the cycles 300a-c.
- the bowed configuration of the bowed pole 102 is configured to bows outwardly; distally from the multi-cycle support assembly 108, so as to create space for loading and unloading cycles 300a-c.
- the apparatus 100 utilizes a hinged bracket 106 between the cables 202 and the bowed pole 102 that allows the bowed pole 102 and the multi-cycle support assembly 108 to sway in a pendulum motion, so as to reduce mechanical stress on the apparatus 100.
- the apparatus 100 simultaneously supports multiple cycles 300a-c.
- the cycles 300a-c may include, without limitation, a bicycle, a mountain bike, an electric bike, a tricycle, a unicycle, a motor cycle, and a scooter.
- the aerial tramway 200 may include an aerial/gondola lift that uses a cable transport, such as a ski lift, consisting of a loop of steel cable strung in an elevated position between two stations, and over intermediate supporting towers.
- apparatus 100 comprises a single, bowed pole 102.
- the use of a single pole to support multiple cycles 300a-c reduces material costs.
- the bowed pole 102 also bows outwardly to create greater space for loading and unloading the cycles 300a-c.
- the bowed pole 102 is defined by a pole cable end 104a, a pole cycle end 104b, and a medial region 104c.
- the pole cable end 104a is proximal to the overhead cable 202 of the aerial tramway 200.
- the pole cycle end 104b is more distal, and at a lower elevation to the cables 202.
- the bowed pole 102 is configured to arc outwardly, or towards the forward end of the apparatus 100.
- the forward end is oriented toward the front tire 302a of the cycles 300a-c, while mounted in the cycle racks 114a-c.
- the bowed pole 102 is configured to bow outwardly at the medial region 104c, and then follow a path rearwardly at the pole cycle end 104b, towards the rear tire 302b of the cycles 300a-c. Looking at FIG. 2 , the bowed pole 102 is bowed, so as to create space for the handle bars and front tire 302a of the cycle 300a. This allows an operator more space to load and unload the cycles 300a-c onto their respective cycle racks 114a-c.
- the pole cycle end 104b is generally perpendicular to the medial region 104c and the pole cable end 104a.
- the pole cycle end 104b curves rearwardly to achieve the perpendicular orientation to the medial region 104c and pole cable end 104a. In this manner, the pole cycle end 104b of the bowed pole 102 orients in a generally horizontal direction, supporting the multi-cycle support assembly 108 that caries the cycles 300a-c.
- the apparatus 100 further includes a bracket 106 that is disposed at the pole cable end 104a.
- the bracket 106 provides an intermediate component for fixing the pole cable end 104a of the bowed pole 102 to a cable extension member 204 that extends from the overhead cable 202.
- Cable extension member 204 may include a bar or roller that is a component of the aerial tramway 200.
- the bracket 106 forms a detachable nexus between the pole cable end 104a of the bowed pole 102, and a cable extension member 204 from the overhead cable 202.
- the bracket 106 serves as a secure, yet detachable connection point that allows an operator to detach the apparatus 100 from the cable extension member 204 of the cable 202 from the aerial tramway 200. This may be accomplished with minimal tools or skill set. Additionally, the bracket 106 serves as a reinforcing mechanical component that helps carry the weight of the apparatus 100 and the cycles 300a-c being supported therefrom.
- grip jaws provide the double function of supporting the weight of the apparatus 100 and of locking the bowed pole 102 on the cable 202.
- various fasteners may, however, be used to connect the bracket 106 to the pole cable end 104a and cable extension member 204, including bolts, screws, pins, and magnets.
- the bracket 106 may also provide sidewalls that prevent debris and moisture from engaging the pole cable end 104a and the cable extension member 204.
- the bracket 106 forms a hinged junction point; and thereby allows the bowed pole 102 to pivot in relation to the cable extension member 204.
- a hinged bracket 106 configuration is possible because of a hinge member 122 that operates in the bracket 106.
- the hinge member 122 may include an axle and bearings about which the pole cable end 104a of the bowed pole 102 pivots.
- the hinge member 122 may also include a hook and bar arrangement. In any case, the hinge member 122 provides a nexus between the cable extension member 204 and the pole cable end 104a.
- the pivotal relationship between the hinged bracket 106 and the cable extension member 204 from the overhead cable 202 enables the multi-cycle support assembly 108 to sway in a pendulum motion.
- This pendulum motion helps to reduce mechanical stress that is naturally induced by carrying a heavy load, such as multiple cycles 300a-c, along an elevated path from an overhead cable 202.
- a heavy load such as multiple cycles 300a-c
- the apparatus 100 must withstand strong winds; and thereby require stress relief through the swaying motion.
- a multi-cycle support assembly 108 joins to the pole cycle end 104b.
- the multi-cycle support assembly 108 hangs from the pole cycle end 104b of the bowed pole 102, while receiving and stabilizing the cycles 300a-c in a secure fashion.
- the multi-cycle support assembly 108 sways in a pendulum motion with the bowed pole 102, so as to reduce mechanical stress induced from heavy winds, or the natural motion of the overhead cables 202.
- the multi-cycle support assembly 108 comprises a primary stabilization bar 110 and at least one secondary stabilization bar 112.
- the primary stabilization bar 110 connects perpendicularly to the pole cycle end 104b of the bowed pole 102 at a forward position, proximal to the front tire 302a of the cycle 300a.
- the primary stabilization bar 110 extends perpendicularly across the medial region 104c of the bowed pole 102, so as to stabilize the front tire 302a section and frame of the cycles 300a-c. This helps balance the multi-cycle support assembly 108 laterally.
- the secondary stabilization bar 112 also connects perpendicularly to the pole cycle end 104b of the bowed pole 102, but more proximal to the rear tire 302b of the cycles 300a-c.
- the secondary stabilization bar 112 is disposed in a parallel, spaced-apart relationship with the primary stabilization bar 110.
- the secondary stabilization bar 112 extends perpendicularly across the horizontally disposed pole cycle end 104b of the bowed pole 102, so as to stabilize the rear tire 302b section and frame of the cycles 300a-c.
- the primary stabilization bar 110 and the secondary stabilization bar 112 help balance the weight of the multi-cycle support assembly 108 laterally. In this manner, only a portion of the cycle racks 114a-c may be loaded with a cycle 300a-c, and the multi-cycle support assembly 108 remains balanced on the bowed pole 102. For example, a cycle 300a can be loaded on the terminal left side of the multi-cycle support assembly 108, while two cycles 300b, 300c can be loaded on the terminal right side of the multi-cycle support assembly 108.
- Both the primary stabilization bar 110 and the secondary stabilization bar 112 extend across the entire length of the cycles 300a-c.
- the primary stabilization bar 110 is a wide rectangular bar
- the secondary stabilization bar 112 is a cylindrical pipe, generally smaller than the primary stabilization bar 110.
- Suitable materials for the stabilization bars 110, 112 may include aluminum, galvanized steel, metal alloys, and a rigid polymer.
- the apparatus 100 provides a plurality of cycle racks 114a-c attached perpendicularly to the primary stabilization bar 110 and the secondary stabilization bar 112.
- the cycle racks 114a, 114b, 114c directly receive the cycles 300a, 300b, 300c in a parallel, spaced-apart disposition relationship to each other.
- the cycle racks 114a-c comprise an elongated panel 124 defined by a front tire depression 116 and a rear tire brace 120.
- the panel 124 may have a textured surface to minimize slippage as the cycles 300a-c are rolled on and off the cycle 300a-c rack.
- a front tire alignment member 118 provides an upper, elongated U-shape that holds the front tire 302a down into the front tire depression 116.
- the front tire alignment member 118 may hinge about the front tire 302a alignment to further secure the front tire 302a.
- a pair of lateral front tire alignment shafts 126a, 126b holds the front tire 302a from the sides into the front tire depression 116.
- the lateral front tire alignment shafts 126a-b are positioned on both sides of the front tire 302a.
- the front tire alignment member 118 and the lateral front tire alignment shafts 126a-b work together to securely retain the front tire 302a into the front tire depression 116.
- the front tire alignment member 118 may hinge about the front tire 302a to enable facilitated removal of the front tire 302a from the front tire depression 116.
- a rear tire brace 120 securely retains the rear tire 302b into the rear section of the panel 124.
- the apparatus 100 attaches to the aerial tramway 200 in a detachable manner that allows for interchangeability and facilitated access for maintenance.
- the bracket 106 affixes between the pole cable end 104a of the bowed pole 102, and the cable extension member 204 from the overhead cable 202 of the aerial tramway 200.
- Various fasteners may be used to connect the bracket 106 to the pole cable end 104a and cable extension member 204, including jaws, bolts, screws, pins, and magnets.
- the bowed pole 102 and multi-cycle support assembly 108 hang down from the cable 202.
- a hinged configuration of the bracket 106 allows the bowed pole 102 to sway in a pendulum motion about the cable extension member 204.
- the cycles 300a-c are loaded directly onto the cycle racks 114a-c, with the front tire 302a setting into the front tire depression 116, and the rear tire 302b aligning into the rear tire brace 120.
- a front tire alignment member 118 provides an upper, elongated U-shape that holds the front tire 302a into the front tire depression 116.
- the front tire alignment member 118 may hinge about the front tire 302a alignment to further secure the front tire 302a.
